2019 Winter NASIS Methodology Report 2

The Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey was conceived as a vehicle both for producing current, topical information about Nebraskans (age 19 and older) and also for monitoring change in quality of life. As in earlier surveys, 2019 Winter NASIS was a joint effort of the Department of Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and a variety of University and public agencies. While the final responsibility for the design and fielding of the survey rests with the Bureau of Sociological Research (BOSR), both the costs of the survey and its planning have been shared with the Department of Sociology at UNL as well as the researchers involved, which typically include several state agencies, private non-profit agencies, and other University departments. Additional information concerning who funded specific questions in 2019 WINTER NASIS can be obtained by contacting BOSR.

Mode Selection

Historically, NASIS was administered as a telephone interview with adults (age 19 and older) in households in Nebraska with a landline telephone. Due to rising costs associated with declining response rates for telephone surveys, the 2009-2010 NASIS was administered as a mail survey to Nebraska households. Each NASIS since, including 2019 Winter NASIS, has been

administered as a mail survey as well. BOSR has used the mail mode in other survey projects, where it has been an efficient and cost-effective method of data collection.

Design and Item Selection

Each Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey is designed to meet the data needs of a diverse group of researchers including UNL faculty and state agencies. In order to meet these needs, the instrument involves multiple stages of development. First, a set of “core” questions is developed. The majority of core items is repeated each year and covers basic demographic information, quality-of-life topics, and general sociological indicators. The core items are

intended both to maintain continuity with previous years of NASIS and to provide information on issues of current importance and interest.

The next step in the development of the instrument is to incorporate a second set of questions to meet the data needs of the agencies and organizations purchasing space on the current survey. Interested public agencies and faculty members initially submit questions to be included in the survey. Aside from the core questions, all of those submitting questions are “buyers” (i.e., they contribute toward the cost of the survey in proportion to their data needs). As the questions from each buyer, or client, are submitted, they are formatted to fit in a mail survey. NASIS provides a cost-effective vehicle for collecting information about Nebraskans as clients purchase only the space needed to administer their items and are provided the use of the core items as part of their participation in NASIS.

With the growing interests of clients, NASIS had reached its full capacity of an annual omnibus survey. In order to serve as many researchers as needed, keep respondent burden at a

reasonable level, and reduce costs, in November 2017, BOSR administered a clients survey to its past NASIS clients as well as those who had expressed interest in this survey before in an

(6)

effort to identify those core items which were less important to researchers as potential

candidate items to be trimmed from the core items pool. Based on the results of this web survey and internal reviews, core items were reduced in 2018. BOSR still offers researchers the option to add previous core items back into NASIS as needed as part of their purchased space.

The 2019 Winter NASIS consisted of the core items retained after the review in 2018 and clients’ questions covering several issues of interest. A copy of the final, formatted mail survey can be found in Appendix B.

Sampling Design

In order to meet the research needs of clients and increase the sample coverage, the sampling design of 2019 Winter NASIS mail survey used a postal delivery sequence based sample of household addresses (ABS). The sample included addresses for individuals and households who have an address according to the US Postal Service. Advantages to this type of sampling design include the ability to mail to all sampled addresses as well as a very high coverage (98% for the United States (O’Muircheartaigh, 2012)). To maintain a probability sample, the adult (age 19 or older) in the household with the next birthday after January 1, 2019 was asked to

complete the survey.

The sampling design for NASIS has adapted to changes in the survey field over time.

Traditionally, the NASIS sample was drawn from a population of non-institutionalized persons in households with telephones who resided in the State of Nebraska during the survey period. Persons under 19 years of age, persons in custodial institutions, in group living quarters, on military bases or reservations, and transient visitors to the state were excluded from the sampling universe. Since its inception in 1977, NASIS used Random Digit Dialing (RDD) procedures to select survey respondents. In 2006, NASIS respondents were drawn from a directory-listed sample of telephone numbers - a change prompted by challenges in sampling related to the proliferation of cell-phone-only adults and increased costs of RDD on the scale of NASIS. In NASIS 2008-2009, the sample design consisted of three segments: (1) a traditional directory listed sample; (2) a sample of participants of the NASIS 2007 (i.e., panel); and (3) an oversample of four counties (Colfax, Dawson, Hall, and Scotts Bluff) in Nebraska with high proportions of Hispanic/Latino residents. In 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, the sampling design utilized was a directory listed address sample. An ABS sample has been used since NASIS 2011-2012.

The sample for 2019 Winter NASIS was purchased from Dynata. A total of 2,400 cases were provided to BOSR by Dynata on February 19, 2019. These addresses were drawn throughout Nebraska with equal probability of selection. Known vacant addresses were excluded from the sampling frame. PO Boxes were only included in the sampling frame if those were the only delivery point for an address.

Data Collection Process

Data were collected between February 28, 2019 and May 10, 2019. The initial survey packet was sent to all sampled addresses on February 28, 2019. In the past a few administrations, BOSR has sent out a future research card along with all other materials in order to give

households the chance to be contacted for future research opportunities. In 2018, this effort has been geared toward building a more robust panel for future research use. In addition to the panelist enrollment card, a separate FAQ sheet which provided detailed answers to the most common concerns respondents are likely to have regarding joining this panel was included in

(7)

each survey packet. Those who agreed to become a member of the “NebrASKa Voices” panel for future studies were asked to return their completed card separately from the questionnaire using the small, postage-paid envelope BOSR provided to mail it back to BOSR.

In the 2019 winter administration, each survey packet contained a shortened cover letter and FAQ regarding the survey (Appendix A), a paper survey booklet (Appendix B), a panelist enrollment card with NebrASKa Voices FAQ sheet (Appendix C and D), and one large and one small postage-paid return envelope. The first survey packet was sent on February 28, 2019. The survey contained 75 questions in 12 pages. A reminder postcard (Appendix E) was sent to all sample members about one week after the group’s initial mailing (March 8, 2019). In addition to the reminder postcard, a second survey packet (contents discussed above) was sent to all remaining non-responders on March 22, 2019. All materials were in English. A total of 390 completed/partially completed surveys were received and processed by BOSR through May 10, 2019.

Response Rate

A total of 390 adults returned the 2019 Winter NASIS mail survey. The response rate of 16.3% was calculated using the American Association for Public Opinion Research’s (AAPOR) standard definition for Response Rate 2. Of the 2,400 addresses sampled, 1.9% (n=45) were determined to be ineligible (e.g., no such address; vacant), 1.9% (n=46) were undeliverable addresses with unknown eligibility. Refusals (e.g., blank survey returned; letter, phone call, or e-mail stating refusal to participate) and refused e-mail were obtained from 1.1% (n=26) of the sample. The response rate was unusually low this year due to the severe flooding and blizzard in Nebraska that occurred shortly after the first mailing.

Data-Entry Training, Supervision, and Quality Control

Data entry was completed by professional data-entry staff. Many of the data-entry workers had previous experience in data entry using Epi Info 6 on other mail survey projects. The data-entry staff was supervised by permanent BOSR project staff.

Data entry was completed in two steps. First, one data-entry worker would enter responses from a single survey. Second, another data-entry worker would re-key the survey and be alerted to any discrepancies with the first entry. Supervisory staff members were available to answer questions about discrepancies or illegible responses. The data-entry staff is paid by the hour, not by the number of surveys entered. This method of payment is used so that we can ensure the high quality of the data collected by our staff.

Processing of Completed Surveys

The data were collected from February 28, 2019 to May 10, 2019. Completed surveys were returned by a total of 390 respondents. As previously mentioned, surveys were data-entered using Epi Info 6 software with data saved on a networked file server. Each day, automatic backups were made of all directories containing information relevant to the survey. Some open-ended information, such as the county codes, were assigned numeric codes by the BOSR staff and also merged with the remainder of the data. The county codes are listed in Appendix F.

Data Cleaning

The data are recorded and stored on a secure server located within the Sociology Department at UNL. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software package was used to process and document the dataset. The first step in data cleaning was to run frequency

(8)

distributions on each of the variables in the survey. The second step was to generate variable and value labels (attempts were made to match the variable names and values for core items that appeared in previous NASIS administration periods). The final step in data cleaning was to recode all open-ended “other” responses on core variables and check for out-of-range values on all survey items. Recoding was done to correct for the most obvious errors/inconsistencies in the data.

Since the data collected contains information specific to the topic, additional decisions related to cleaning and recoding of the data will be left to the client to ensure final data quality. It should be noted, too, that due to the nature of mail surveys, respondents do not always follow the

instructions for skip patterns within the survey. Inconsistencies, which are common in mail surveys, will still exist in the data.

The cleaned, coded data were stored in an SPSS system file. A list of all variables in the archive file and the variable names used in the SPSS system file for each variable are included in Appendix G. Datasets for users involving subsets of items in the file were generated by selecting the appropriate items from this main file.

The most economical and flexible manner to use the NASIS data is by using the SPSS for Windows software program. It is also possible to produce a dataset for SAS, among other possible data formats. Any additional needs or questions concerning the NASIS dataset should be directed to the Bureau of Sociological Research.

NASIS Sample Weights

The data were weighted in two ways to account for the within household probability of selection, nonresponse, and population characteristics. First, data were weighted by the number of adults living in the household (Hwat) in order to adjust for within-household selection probability. The the data are usally weighted for nonresponse by state region (reg_wt), but were not this year due to the low response rate. Please refer to Figure 1 for a description of the regions. Second, poststratification weights were applied based on age (age_grp) and gender (sex) in order for the data to more closely resemble the population. Tables 2 and 3 display 2010 Census population data and NASIS weighted and unweighted frequencies both with and without the design effect taken into account. The final weight in the dataset is called Pwate.

Design Effects

Since the 2019 Winter NASIS used simple random sampling, there is no loss in precision due to the sampling design. The design effect due to weighting adjustments is 1.56, which represents the loss in statistical efficiency that results from unequal weights1_{. Appropriate adjustments need}

to be incorporated into statistical tests when using 2019 Winter NASIS data. See Estimate of Sampling Error section starting on page 9 for more information.

Estimate of Sampling Error

The 2019 Winter NASIS sample is a simple random sample of households in the state. Because the data were weighted to account for within household selection and population characteristics, the estimates of the sampling error are not straightforward. Table 2 presents margins of

sampling error for some of the most likely sample sizes not taking the design effect from weighting into account. Exact margins of error for alternative specifications of sample size and reported percentages can be easily computed by using the following formula for the 95% confidence level:

Margin of error = 1.96 * square root (p(1-p)/n)

p = the expected proportion selecting the answer n = number of responses

When accounting for design effects due to weighting, the adjusted sampling error will be increased as is shown when comparing Table 2 to Table 3 where the design effect is incorporated:

Margin of error = square root (deff) * 1.96 * square root (p(1-p)/n) deff = design effects

p = the expected proportion selecting the answer n = number of responses

* 95% confidence interval states that in 95 out of 100 samples drawn using the same sample size and design, the interval will contain the population value.

Appendix H: AAPOR Transparency Initiative Immediate Disclosure Items

1. Who sponsored the research study.

Introduction

2. Who conducted the research study.

Introduction

3. If who conducted the study is different from the sponsor, the original sources of funding will also be disclosed.

Introduction

4. The exact wording and presentation of questions and response options whose results are reported. This includes preceding interviewer or respondent instructions and any preceding questions that might reasonably be expected to influence responses to the reported results.

Appendix B

5. A definition of the population under study and its geographic location.

Introduction /Sampling Design

6. Dates of data collection.

Data Collection Process

7. A description of the sampling frame(s) and its coverage of the target population, including mention of any segment of the target population that is not covered by the design. This many include, for example, exclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in U.S. surveys; exclusion of specific provinces or rural areas in international surveys; and exclusion of non-panel members in panel surveys. If possible the estimated size of non-covered segments will be provided. If a size estimate cannot be provided, this will be explained. If no frame or list was utilized, this will be indicated.

Sampling Design

8. The name of the sample supplier, if the sampling frame and/or the sample itself was provided by a third party.

Sampling Design

9. The methods used to recruit the panel or participants, if the sample was drawn from a pre-recruited panel or pool of respondents.

Not applicable to project

10. A description of the sample design, giving a clear indication of the method by which the respondents were selected, recruited, intercepted or otherwise contacted or

encountered, along with any eligibility requirements and/or oversampling. If quotas were used, the variables defining the quotas will be reported. If a within-household selection procedure was used, this will be described. The description of the sampling frame and sample design will include sufficient detail to determine whether the respondents were selected using probability or non-probability methods.

Sampling Design

11. Method(s) and mode(s) used to administer the survey (e.g., CATI, CAPI, ACASI, IVR, mail survey, web survey) and the language(s) offered.

(50)

12. Sample sizes (by sampling frame if more than on was used) and a discussion of the precision of the findings. For probability samples, the estimates of sampling error will be reported, and the discussion will state whether or not the reported margins of sampling error or statistical analyses have been adjusted for the design effect due to weighting, clustering, or other factors. Disclosure requirements for non-probability samples are different because the precision of estimates from such samples is a model-based measure (rather than the average deviation from the population value over all possible samples). Reports of non-probability samples will only provide measures of precision if they are accompanied by a detailed description of how the underlying model was specified, its assumptions validated and the measure(s) calculated. To avoid confusion, it is best to avoid using the term “margin of error” or “margin of sampling error” in

conjunction with non-probability samples.

Design Effects/Estimate of Sampling Error

13. A description of how the weights were calculated, including the variables used and the sources of weighting parameters, if weighted estimates are reported.

NASIS Sample Weights

14. If the results reported are based on multiple samples or multiple modes, the preceding items will be disclosed for each.

Not applicable to project
